Another great week for P3 and it was busy! P3 were out and about this week on Tuesday to the Museum on the Mound for Maths Week and on Thursday we went to the Poetry Library for National Poetry Day to hear a reading by the Scots Poet Susi Briggs. At the Museum on the Mound we looked at different forms of money and coins from around the world, the history of coins and we toured around the museum to look at how money is stored both now and in the past.
At the Poetry Library will listened to Susi Briggs a Poet and Scots Writer read two of her rhyming poems. Then we drew a concrete poem of our favourite animal and the noise it makes.
It was lovely to meet parents on Thursday and Friday to share the P3’s learning and to discuss how far they have progressed in the first weeks of P3. I look forward over the session to share lots more of the P3 learning, thank you once again for coming and if you were not able to attend and would like to discuss your child’s learning please contact the office by email or phone.
Home Learning, this week will be sent out on Monday to be returned on Friday and will consist of a book to read for pleasure, the Viking grid of activities and the Mental Maths Challenge grid. I had spoken to the class and received feedback about the Maths challenges, some of the class have found the number of challenges and how to do them overwhelming and with this in mind I have reduced this week the challenges to three, mild, hot and spicy. I will still send the challenge grid home in its complete form but have also included a pictorial challenge sheet that the children have been shown in class to build their confidence in using the Mental Maths Challenge Grid.
